Comments Thread For: De La Hoya, Canelo: Making Weight is Not a Problem

[DLT]

He's had issues making weight in the past. He had to step on the scales a couple of times against Matthew Hatton. While they can say they've had no trouble making weight for these outings, they need not try to mislead the uninformed into thinking that there isn't a possibility of the young man stepping on the scale and being over the limit. I'm just saying. I'm almost certain that he will make weight and he will bring everything he has and more to try to realize his dream. I don't think he wants to score a ko. I think he wants to be the kid who comes along and outboxes Floyd Mayweather.

He didnt have issues making weight with Hatton. He came in at 153 which is only one pound more than this fight. Now the problem with his weight in this fight is the same as Floyd vs JMM. He just didnt care to make it. This wasnt a JCC Jr. struggling or a Gamboa situation. Canelo just didnt care because it was only Matthew Hatton and he knew the fight wouldnt be cancled. He couldve easily made it if he wanted to

Canelo probably had his sack drained to make weight. Thing weighs like 25 lbs.

C'mon maaan...TF is this about?! -_-

Just head games..... Floyd needs a new comeback for that lame... 'there's no blueprint on beating me..... there's a blueprint on everybody else"..... seriously the blue print if to make you fight Floyd. We all know you don't like getting hit, you don't take a punch well. We know you got roughed up with Cotto and Mosley, both well past their prime, and strategic hand picking on your part. Hence why you never agreed to fight Pacquaio... too dangerous. You got hit with some body shots by Guerrero, got on your bike and fled the scene, which you are good at, in and out of the ring, Floyd. The only guy you knocked out in recent memory is Ortiz who dropped his hands, backed out of a clinch, got ****** and looked at the referee and you sucker punched him.... the last guy you stopped was a smaller, lead with your chin, one dimensional Ricky Hatton who gave you trouble for 11 rounds!!! Your hand picked run is over.... Canelo KNOCKS YOU OUT, Junior.....

Ran? This is one of the worst post & terrible twist on reality I've read. I don't care about people not liking Floyd but to make ish up shows that being a hater is more important than being a fan of the sport. Example: I like Pac but I'm not a huge fan (could care less if he loses)...I was pissed for a while when they gave Bradley the win over him because it's not good for the sport & simply wasn't the right decision...take your emotions out of the equation, you can still not like him & be truthful at the same time.

8 months from now oscar will be saying,,,

"Canelo was drained,,, everybody knew the last 2 pounds to cut are the hardest, i remember i cut too much for the manny pacquio fight, and it cost me the fight,, I believe the same thing happened to Canelo,,, But on May 5th Lucas Matthyse will not be drained, we will be strong, I think Mayweather is a great fighter, but lucas is an animal, he will not be drained like Canelo, and he wont be flat-footed like Guerrero,, Lucas will put the pressure on floyd like no one was ever before,, May 5th will be a great fight""

I swear Oscar will say this sometime in april of next year

What's with people and that, like that one thread talking asking if Canelo had an ATG p4p snake. is there some kind of rumor that i missed here

NSBers just fantasizing about Canelo's testicles, no big deal. Pretty standard stuff really.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

and there's the dead giveaway that Canelo wont be making the 152 catchweight

The Oscar thing was night & day from this. Oscar had fought at MW and had to come back down to 147 where he hadnt been in a million years. He came down to 150 the fight before against Forbes and looked like crap. I predicted then that Pac would beat his asz because if he looked like that at 150 then I can imagine what he's going to look like at WW. IDK why everyone was so shocked by it

Yes. People forget that Floyd was 150 when he fought ODLH at 154... Later on, Oscar had to drain down to 145 to meet Pacquiao...

Oscar didnt have to drain himself to 145,,,,

Oscar chose to fight at 147 and wanted to fight a smaller guy like manny so he could get a spectacular ko ala like when he fought leija, genaro, chavez, ruelas, etc...
Oscar was looking to cherrypick a smaller guy,,,, it backfired,,,
Manny didnt force oscar to come to 145,,, Oscar over did it, for whatever reason,,,,
Manny was a superfeather with one fight at 135, when oscar wanted to fight him at 147,, Oscar looking for a cherrypick,,,

It now gets revised: that manny made oscar come down, when that was def not the case,,,Oscar chose it

This. Add in "and Canelo I don't believe was REALLY ready. He was confident, but I think they moved him too fast and Mayweather banked on his inexperience. But Lucas is experienced and come May 5th, he will prove to be Mayweather's most legitimate challenge and define Mayweather's entire 17 year career and everything he's worked for in this one fight" - DLH
